Pheral is a bit wobbly for a short while after her bath. She feels clean of body of fresh in the soul. She had little time but donned her armor and outer wear(hat and coat) and fully geared her sword belt with her blades and crossbow. She caught up to the group and proceeded to be amazed at the opening of the first door. She holds the painting and proceeds to lead them to the 2nd.

Thoughts of tunnels and vaults and treasure were giving her strange sensations in her body. Like a familiar longing but not something she could fix to a memory.

You guys are still outside the vault, but underground. We're waiting for Dani to get shitfaced before the magic door opens. Then we can move on to the first area.
As they stood there and waited for Dani to drink her poison, Leon slips the scale into one of his pouch pockets, quietly thanked Zeli and returning the kiss with one of his own, but on her forehead instead. "I will hold onto it til my dying breath, love."He whispers to her in elvish.

Ok, i'm not sure when Dani will be online, but let's push ahead and she can describe how drunk she gets when she logs in.
The vault is buried under a very old mage tower on the edge of Waterdeep city. You have no problem finding it, but it's in a very remote location. There are no people and guards here to either see you, or support you. You enter the tower, head downstairs, and underground is the door to the vault. A 20-foot-high, 20-foot-wide stone corridor ends before an adamantine double door bearing Dwarvish runes. The doors have neither handles nor hinges. The writing on them reads, “THE THREE KEYS. BRING THEM FORTH.”
Zeli holds up her scale, Pheral shows the door the picture, and Dani vomits on the floor. The doors open with a pop, and remain open. You all walk into the main area.
There are no light sources, so Zeli conjures up a magnificent longsword and makes it glow brilliantly. Three age-worn columns support crumbling stone bridges 60 feet overhead, with the ceiling rising another 20 feet beyond that. Set into alcoves are twelve sets of double doors made of iron. Each door is 10 feet wide, 10 feet high, and embossed with images of dwarf warriors in plate armor. It doesn't take long to realize most of the doors are false, and the ones on the top left of the map lead into the next area.

Azrael would step ahead of most of the group, and inspect the area with the broken column with the most debris, in the middle of the room. Investigation: 3 Seeing if there was anythign of importance to glean, some hidden messages, etc
Danitriel carefully took the bottle of Elverquisst out of her backpack and broke the decorative seal on the crystal stopper. "Well, here we go." She said before offering a short prayer to the elven gods. Lifting the bottle to her lips she took a long swallow, the gold-flecked ruby liqueur flowed down her throat with supernatural smoothness. She tasted the expertly blended tastes of sweet grapes and tart citrus on the tip of her tongue, followed by notes of vanilla and cinnamon from the blueleaf wood the barrels were made of and a hint of refreshing wintermint.
She felt slightly sacrilegious swilling the almost-sacred brew as though it were a lesser spirit, but took a second swallow nonetheless and her eyes began to water. She remembered the song her people would sing to start the revelries of the Midsummer rites.
Behold the joy of children
Behold the joy of elves
Behold the circle of starlight
That never has an end
Through falling leaves and winter snow
The sun will visit those below
And warm the netherworld will be
But it's not there that you'll find me
Behold the joy of children
Behold the joy of elves
Behold the circle of starlight
That never has an end
Through spring meadows and summer sky
The sun will shine on you and I
For we are young and dance around
Magefires shining above ground
Behold the joy of children
Behold the joy of elves
Behold the circle of starlight
That never has an end
Whether in this life or the next
Even after sunset in the west
The light of the Seldarine will return
For it is my heart and you are my love
Half the bottle was gone before the song was done and Danitriel reeled as she, very carefully, tried to put the bottle back without spilling the brew.
As you look up while standing on the main room, you can see three stone bridges up above you that must be on the second floor, in very poor condition. They look, at some points, very brittle. Further evidence is the rubble on the floor. You continue in the direction of the blue arrow.
"Those bridges up there don't look very stable. Everyone be careful!" Zeli says softly.
THE ENTHRALLING FRESCO
In this next room, the north wall bears a 20-foot-square fresco that depicts dwarves battling goblins. It is truly magnificent to look at. To the south is a stairway leading up. There are no lifeforms other than yourselves in this room.

Azrael would quietly speak to Lythril, Do you know anything about what this could be depicting? Specifically, I mean. he says, pointing to the large battle portrayed in art, askign if perhaps she knew the history behind it.. which could lead to some clues as to what they might want to expect.. like Balrogs.... or some-such.
Azrael attempted to be stealthy as he walked... 10
Regardless, Azrael prepared himself for anything, Readying his Control Flames Cantrip, and if he spotted anything that looked like a firebolt/firespell etc, he would snuff it out immediately. This was proceeding far too... smoothly. it didn't sit right with him... Something was off... Am I the only one who feels like this is going too easily? No issues getting to here.... no great guardian at the entrance..... either something is lying in wait.... or... this all seems too easy .. perhaps I am just overthinking.. but something as grand as this.... Pheral.. tread carefully and watch for traps...
Uh-Oh guys... Goblins.... we may need to call in this guy...
Lythril looks at the carvings and pinches her chin with her fingers...
"Yup,...there is that...It's a uh, Dwarvish carving work kind of thing."
Shrugging, she has no clue about any of the art. Before taking up her usual spot in the front, she whispers "lumos" and Azrael's staff glows with a bright white-green light
